Psalms 20

Psalm 20 ESV

1The church prayeth for the king's good success in the day of trouble, 6and expresseth a confidence in God's succour.
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1 May the Lord 1answer you in the day of trouble! May 2the name of the God of Jacob 3protect you!
2 May he send you help from 1the sanctuary and give you support from 2Zion!
3 May he 1remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah
4 May he 1grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!
5 May we shout for joy over 1your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our 2banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!
6 Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with 1the saving might of his right hand.
7 Some trust in 1chariots and some in 2horses, 3but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright.
9 O Lord, save 1the king! May he answer us when we call.
